Keane...Keano....Roy Keane

I really wanted to read this book since it was first published in year 2002,and only now...5 years after that,I get a chance to read it and I discovered that it was brilliantly written by him. "KEANE"...an autobiography written by ex Manchester United captain Roy Keane.This book is a must for all man utd fan out there.Very honest and frankly written but maybe not very suitable for under age due to some explicit words being used,but not that vulgar that we must kept this book locked inside a secret chamber or something.

Contrary to his high profile football career,Roy Keane is a late starter in the English Premier League scene,well not to his fault,somehow back then clubs hesitated to sign him in his early age due to his small physical figure. He only sign with a major club,Nottingham Forest in his last teenage years.But from that point he never really look back anymore.So like we all know, after that Sir Alex bought him for a British record signing back then and since then he became a cult hero for the red devils.This book tells a lot about his involvement in the Republic Ireland national team as well.Do you all remember when Roy Keane almost walk out from the Irish team during world cup?This book tells you all about it.Remember Alfie Haaland?Manchester City player which injured Keano and somehow after he recovered,he "accidentally" injured Haaland back during a game a year after that...this book revealed all,which I think Keane had been banned for few games and few thousand pound due to the confession of the intentional act on Haaland.

Keano...either you hate him so much or you just love him...he admit that he is a hot headed guy but reading this book,the are few occasions that we can blame him when he was in a fight or something.It is like somehow he was always surrounded by some moron that will pick a fight with him.Well maybe he can easily make people piss or something.I remember somewhere in the book where he involved in a pub fight with an Irish guy that slam his hometown football team,well even I would react like that if my hometown was insulted.I think that he is just an honest and a very frank guy,well...too frank sometimes maybe.Obviously he respect Sir Alex very much,from this book he always mentioned how grateful he was when given chance to play under Sir Alex.Even though his man utd career ended not in a way that we expected,we knew that he is in love with the red devils....aa Keano...its a pity you didn't end your career at the old trafford....I don't remember if Man utd did arranged any testimonial game for him...did they?Well...wish you good luck with Sunderland....maybe who knows you will be the next gaffer at the old trafford...time will tell.

That boy Anderson

"That boy Ronaldo..." is a chant song created by Manchester United fans for Cristiano Ronaldo and whenever he strolled pass defenders or do some step over, the fan at the stadium will sing the song to lift up his spirit.
Well my Man Utd fan friends...I think its time for us to write song for Anderson!
That boy is special.Only 19, yet last week he commandingly run the show at Anfield like he owns the place.What a terrific player.I think Man Utd had bought one gifted football player.
Paul Scholes will not be getting his place in the center of the midfield straight away after his injury,I think.Well at least if Anderson maintained his current form.
Even though Anderson is playing good football now, somehow I sense that there will be more to come from him in this very near future. I think maybe now the coaching staff somehow restricted him from going forward too much and currently building up his defencing skill. From what I saw during his time at Porto FC,he is more and out and out forward,always running to the defence and have an eye on the goal.But currently I think he restricted his attacking game, maybe due to the coaching staff advices or something.But last week at Anfield,we can see how he did the running from the center towards the Liverpool goal,only for Gerrard to nastily tackling him down.His run was magnificent and I believe it was only mere glimpse of his attacking ability.Surely more to come from this boy,Anderson.

Fuel cells ...no more engine?

Found this book at the library. Fuel cells is not actually my topic of interest as I am trying to narrow my view more to the classical internal combustion engine type of problems/solution. Yet I found quite tempted to read this book and I had a go with it. After that, I am very impressed with the author/editor of the book, Prof. Rob Thring from Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering Department at Loughborough University, UK. (I might have ended up there actually, I had chance to join this university but I decided to go to Newcastle University)The writing is good and very easily understandable for a person like me, a guy who know nothing about fuel cells.
This book tells you about types of fuel cells, such as alkaline fuel cell, solid oxide fuel cell and direct methanol fuel cells. Fuel sources such as hydrogen also were discussed. This book also tells you on the concept of how to store the hydrogen inside the vehicle. Simulation of fuel cell vehicle was also discussed.
I also noticed that this book was first published in year 2004, so by now probably all the technology mentioned in the book might probably have some updated version. But even so, I am very excited about one particular thing mentioned in the book. It is about an invention by General Motors(GM), where the demonstrated a fuel cell vehicle known as Hy-Wire which reflects the idea of reinventing the automobile to take the advantage of a fuel cell power plant’s characteristics. So I looked up for it and found that Hy-Wire is quite a cool invention. The car operates by hydrogen fuel cell and do not have an internal combustion engine and hydraulics system. All are control by a controller. You can check this site for more information about the car http://auto.howstuffworks.com/hy-wire.htm or http://archive.cardesignnews.com/autoshows/2002/paris/preview/gm-hywire/
The car invented in year 2002, so imagine by now the technology must be more highly crafted.
Well, just want to say that this book is quite enjoyable to read and very informative if you want to know about fuel cells. [Rating: (9/10)]

Gazza - His story

Do you guys remember Gazza?He used to be a football super star in the English Premier League.He had quite a carrier as a footballer and I think now he is into management of one of the club in the lower league.I think now he is already near to 40 years old.
When I bought his biography book "Gazza-My Story", I don't really intend to read it immediately because I am not such a big fan of him.But one night, I just start to read it and somehow I find myself really enjoy reading the book.
Gazza or his real name Paul Gascoigne was born in Newcastle,UK. Since his young age football is his life.In fact, it is the only thing that he likes and that is the thing that he want to do for the rest of his life.
In the book, he mentioned lots of places in Newcastle that I am familiar with.Kinda cool to think that I have been to the place that he had been.
For your information,Gazza has always being the star of any football team that he has ever joined.And this was back dated way back since his first involvement in a junior club level.
Even though people from his club always joked about he was too fat to be a footballer, he never gave up in being a footballer.
He make his debut for his hometown team Newcastle United FC when he was 17.He do not take that long in making headline on the press.He also involved with England U21 team.
He wass so good during his day at Newcastle United that even Manchester United manager, Alex Ferguson approached him.But to his silliness he rejected the offer and somehow decided to accept offer from Tottenham Hotspurs FC instead.
Well I have to agreed with Sir Alex,Gazza made a bad choice.If he joined Manchester United instead,I do believe he would be a better footballer because Sir Alex is so good with managing young footballer.
Gazza had his ups and down at Spurs,winning one FA Cup medal and broke his leg in that FA Cup final.
During this time,Lazio FC from Italy swoop in and bring him to Serie A.
His involvement in the England senior squad is quite memorable. I do remember his "crying face" when England went out from The 1990 World Cup semi final lost to West Germany. After that baby face cry,somehow Gazza was saluted like a war hero by his fellow countryman. Maybe it shows his patriotism.
In Serie A, he did not play much due to injury.His hot headed attitude did not help the situation to be better as well.Then thing started to get wrong very much for him.Reading the book, I found that Gazza is a spontaneous kind of guy and obviously a little bit crazy minded guy.(A happy go lucky should be more appropriate I guess).He had a spell with Middlesbrough,Glasgow Rangers, Everton and he even had a stint at a Chinese football club.
I believe he did not finished his carrier on high.If only he accepted the offer from Man Utd!!
It will be a major turning point in his carrier,I believe.
Well,overall I enjoyed reading the book and actually it is fun to learn about other people's life.
This reading is a must for every Gazza fan out there.(rating : 7 / 10)

Return of The Blogger(Not Jedi)

It’s been a while since I last wrote here. Actually there are so much things going on in my life lately. It’s just that I don’t feel like sharing it in a blog. You can call it my private emotion…hehe...But that is just how I feel. Well, obviously you can also call it inconsistency, laziness, or should I say that my blogging rhythm has been off tuned by my current life in Newcastle UK. (More excuse coming up….hehe)
So here I am, in school again. Going to lecture hall, tutorial classes and going anywhere within the university areas without leaving my backpack (school bag) behind.
My course here is okay I guess, not too dull, not to hyper extreme, not to difficult and yet not too easy. I have friends all over the world, from Russia, Greece, India, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, China, Africa, and obviously from UK. They are a bunch of nice guys. I am quite happy to get to know those guys. If you want to know about how my family are doing here, well I can tell you we are doing quite fine here. (You can check my honey’s blog mummyvaio@blogspot.com for more details)
But one thing I tell you, if you think that if you are in England and you can always go to the football stadium for EPL game, well you wrong man. First, you have to fight for the tickets because it’s like there are 50,000 tickets available and there are like I don’t know…millions (obviously this figure is questionable…) of peoples who want to buy the ticket. Second, if you get the chance to buy the ticket, you have to pay it for good money (around GBP20 to 30) and third, it is always raining here.Man...I hate the weather here. So at the end, you think…” Hey, instead of going to the stadium, why not I just lay back on my sofa in my living room and watch the game from the SKY SPORT CHANNEL…hehe...Not such a football die hard fan I guess.
But I planned to go and watch EPL game at least once this year…wish me luck guys!
And also wish me luck updating this blog regularly…although I think nobody is actually reading it though...Hehe...

Malaysia: Still a Safe Place?

I hate when people say that Malaysia is a safe place to live. It is just not so true enough. It make us feel safe, when the actual situation is not that safe and sound. The statement make us feel that we do not need to do anything to current situation. It is a lame understatement. It make us feel dumb. It brainwashed our mind.
Yesterday newspaper:A couple was killed inside their own house.They only discover the body after 3 days.
Few days ago newspaper: A couple was robbed. The girlfriend was gang-raped, and the boyfriend was forced to witness it.( Johor)
Day after day we found such newsclips. Not a very safe place to live does it now? Damn all those killer, all those rapist.Currently for the killer, if found guilty for 1st degree murder.. it will be death penalty...justice is done.Now...for a rapist...there are no such clause...1st degree rape.... do we need to rape the rapist back to done justice? Sound a little wierd isn't it.
I suggest we look at a different angle.Now, if a person commit a traffic wrong doing, at a higher level...we will ban this person licence...for some heavy cases we ban it for life...so he couldn't drive anymore...same goes so cases such as bad contractor...bad doctor...bad lawyer. Now for a rapist...the rapist actually mis-used his "manhood"...so why not make his "manhood" unused.... make it to be incapable of using it...give the rapist "manhood" a death penalty so that he will not used it wrongly anymore. Maybe sound cruel, but hey....we only live once...the rapist should think about the victim future before doing the crime. But I am affraid by doing so...all these rapist will end up killing the victims...because they do not want the victim to report it.
We should think more about this. We can't just simply do the law by our angered mind. It will make the situation worst,but I am very sad about our current situation. Every day there will be such cases here.
Where all the good people go?Where all the heroes go?Who will safe us? In Allah very believe. Pray to Allah every second...for our family and country to be a more safer place to live..amin.

Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Malaysia?

Firstly, this is not a racist taught. It is an expression of how I love the origin of my self, my root, my race.This is only my free speech and I believe that I am entitled for such luxury.
I guess many of us aware that recently our ministry department declared that Bahasa Melayu is no longer Bahasa Melayu. It has been changed(yup...again..) to Bahasa Malaysia. This is for the unity purpose, so that as a Malaysia Nation, we are united with the Malaysian Language as our National Language....yet the first thing that crossed my tiny little mind is...how long this " Bahasa Malaysia" terminology will last this time?
Previously we already used thus terminology but it do not last. It is just the same with the usage of " Bahasa Baku" where we pronounce the word exactly as how it is spell.( which remind me of currently in ESPN channel they are telecasting Spelling Bee Competition...why on earth a spelling competition squeezed into ESPN?) It seems like we just keep changing this language related topic every now and then. This unsteady situation, does is resemble our true skin, our actual way of thinking? We are not firm about it. I don't see Chinese Government changing Mandarin, or Cantonese to Chinese Language. I do not see English Language been changed to "International Language" considering the whole world population used it as a language.
My point of view, Language expressed the something. It shows our root. To us Malay Race, what is left for us now? Does Malay has its own language now? If Chinese has their language, Indian has Tamil, even a minor race of Iban or Dayak Race has their own language. But no, now Malay do not has our own language as we used a standard language of "Bahasa Malaysia". It is so sad to think about it, we do not even have our own language anymore. I wonder, what if...what if Mandarin or Tamil is a national language. Do we changed them to Malaysian Language?Poor poor Malay, we don not even have our own language anymore. So now is the language? Whats next? Why not change Malay race to Malayisan Race.
"Bahasa melambangkan Bangsa"....I guess now Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka need to make some changes there...because here in malaysia..."Bahasa melambangkan Bangsa...kecuali untuk MELAYU".
Anyway, I wonder if all, every single person of Malaysian citizen can speak Malay Language soundly...fluently. I highly doubt it.

One other thing, does unity by language actually unite us as a nation? I see Indonesia, as a big country, all people there using Indonesia Language as a national language, yet we hear they always living in fear there. Seems like no unity to me. Who said that using one language which the terminology of the language represent the whole nation as a one country is one element for unity? Is it still relevant in today's life? Do we expect other race in Malaysia will change to be more patriotism after this? Does usage of Malaysia Language will be expand more? How to ensure Malaysia Language will be use by all Malaysia citizen in their daily life? It will be very weird not to use it on daily basis, as it is a national language. It is not like we have other remote location to live.We are here everyday. Somebody out there..please give me all these questions 's answer.

I wonder how long this will stand...we just wait and see...

United new boyz!

After getting Owen Hargreaves, Manchester United make double swoop in form of Luis Nani and Oliviera Anderson, both are Portugal League based player.
Nani was a Sporting Lisborn wide man. At 20, he is already a full international player.
Anderson, 19, was a Porto FC player and can play either wide, midfield or even forward just behind the top striker.
These 2 new signings shows Sir Alex Ferguson still has ambition to develop Manchester United as a top squad with talented young guns. However, the 2 new boys is still at tender age and we should not expect any high hopes from them. They are more likely a long term replacement for Paul Scholes and Ryann Giggs. After watching Nani performed at the Under 21 European Tournament with Portugal, I think we must give him couple of years before really his true potential at the English Premier League. He will need time to adapt the tough tackling league, and considering his lightweight body, he must fully use his dribbling and fast feed to get the better of players like John Terry, Jamie Carragher or even Kolou Toure.
Meanwhile, Anderson is a Brazilian who some claim as the next Ronaldinho. I hope this is going to be true. Nothing much are proven yet from him, his performance for Porto was good but due to a horrific injury, the action has been lessen back then. But from some of the mach with Porto, we can see that he has potential. He should be good enough for EPL, strong figure, fast feet, good passer and also skill full with the ball. But he need to adapt himself first as we previously see how Brazilian always failed to impressed in EPL.( remember a guy call Kleberson? Or remember Veron?　Well he is an Argentinean though)
Anyway, I am looking forward how Sir Alex will use the 2 new boys. Just imagine Nani on the left, Ronaldo on the right, Anderson at the middle and Rooney just behind the top striker. With the likes of support, I think I myself can score about 10goals a year. Just throw me in as a striker and I think I can get some goal with that kind of player around me.
We will see how it will goes. Can’t wait for the EPL opening season…huhu.

Man Utd got Hargreaves

The EPL season for 2006/07 just ended with my beloved team Manchester United winning the league title. Also united lost in the FA cup final to Chelsea and could not stop AC Milan from whipping them at San Siro, this year surely is one of the best season for the Red Devils.
So all now are focusing on how all team will strengthen their squad next year. Man Utd made a fast move on Owen Hargreaves. Even though the reportedly 17million pound move still not yet been finalized, it seems impossible for the deal to be broke down.
With Paul Scholes having a good season this year, Micheal Carrick also had a good season, Darren Flecther seems decent, Chris Eagle trying to push for the first team spot, it seems that adding Hargreaves in the team will create more competition to the 2 center midfield slot. But united do not have any player with the same type of Hargreaves. He is a midfield dynamo, a decent passer and also can read the game well.
His important roll for united next year is to be a holding center midfielder , winning the ball from opponent. Kinda have a similar role as Gennaro Gattusso of AC Milan and Claude Makalele of Chelsea or Momo Sissokko of Liverpool. Many people doubt that Hargreaves will make big impact next year. Some say he is overrated as well. Playing a great world cup tournament do not make you a big player until you proved yourself week in and week out in the league game. But you can’t deny that a player who can play as a right back and also a midfield and playing regularly at a club like Bayern Munich is not good enough. Throughout the years, I think that Hargreaves has improved. He is no longer a no nonsense player with a flying tackle all over the pitch. He has more good vision of the game now. Control the ball nicely, passing is also decent, could dribble as well and also very good at tackling. This is the element which are lacking at united now, a player who can tackle well. Carrick done great this year, but adding Hargreaves to the team will only make united with more flavor at the center midfield. Through times people will see that united indeed has spend a well 17million pound on Owen Hargreaves.

Winning the title and the factors

Another season ended in the English Premier League, with my favorite team Manchester United clinched their 16th league title, only 2 short from all time winner Liverpool FC with 18 league titles.
I must say even though the Red Devils won the title, it seems to me that actually there are contribution factors that helps united won the league. I am not saying the united not done well enough this year, I just think that if all the contribution factors do not exist, the ending of this year league results might be slightly different.
First, it can be said that actually besides Man Utd and Chelsea, other teams do not performed well this year. Liverpool had problem with consistency in the domestic league and Arsenal seems lost without their captain Thiery Henry which missed most of the league games through long term injury. Other teams seems just like trying to push for a place in the UEFA cup next year, or some just fighting to survive in the premiere league. With all these problem had their difficulties, Man Utd can steadily maintained their lead.
Secondly, Chelsea factors. Chelsea was unfortunate this year. They lost their magnificent goalkeeper Petr Cech during season start through head injury. They also lost their second goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini through injury as well. So they only have Huelerio to guard their goal post. This guys, well not that he is not good, but he is nowhere near Cech caliber. Chelsea also had problems at their center of defence, lack of back up. When John Terry and Ricardo Calvahlio got injured, Chelsea need to use Micheal Essien to cover that area. Essien is a good all rounder player, but lets face the fact that he is not a natural center half. This is where Jose Mourinho felt selling Robert Huth and Willy Gallas was in fact was a mistake. With all these inconsistency in the back line, Chelsea had difficulties during the starting point of the league, which it turns to be a favors for the Red Devils.
But anyway, Man Utd do play well this year. Christiano Ronaldo had a good season, Wayne Rooney also had a good season. Scholes and Giggsy also seems to find their old touch. Edwin Van Der Sar play superbly all season. Patrice Evra was a revolution at he left back. Darren Flecther seems maturing to be the potential midfielder that many had predicted he to be one day and last but not least, the fierce less, the wonderful header , the fast and furious Nemanja Vidic. He is my Man Utd player of the year, despite all the attention are turning to the magnificent Christiano Ronaldo.
We hope that Man Utd will be champion again for next year. Man Utd For Life!

Manchester United FC blog's marathon !

Hi all!Hehe..I might be talking to myself actually...cause I dunno if there is anybody actually reading this blog besides my luvly wife..but somehow my friend Azida did found this blog...so maybe I am not talking to myself after all...so spread the news dude to all

man-kind ...ops,sorry for the masculinity choice of words...spread it to all human-kind okay!

Since after completing my courses at USM, I didn't do any reading about my pre-research study.

But I am in a mood for football talking...planet soccer...football chat...call it what ever you want.

Let's talk about a very specific club...Manchester United Football Club....well even though I am proudly a Malay guy with no such bloodline/connection with any source of the Manchurian football club...but I start supporting MU FC way back since my early ages...as far as I can remember...I knew MU FC first before I knew about football game itself.

Well you see...back in 1986..my eldest brother was studying in UK..so the first time he came back to Malaysia for holiday, he bought me one football kit...a children football jersey of the great MU FC...at that moment I didn't really care about football. But after getting that jersey...it changed my life forever..since than football is my game and MU is my team....

People might think.."hey..this dude is a typical malay guy...cheering up for MU FC...because starting from the mid 90's MU started to be the best club in UK"..well I tell to all who think like that..I am not that kind of guy...I start to support MU way before they are call the champion...

You see..in the mid 80's...it was Liverpool FC who dominated English football...MU is more to a moderate...mid-table in the league kinda club...so I like to think myself as a pure MU FC fan...

I supported them not because they are a champion..not because there used to be a dude name Beckham played for the club...it is just purely FATE...me, myself and mu..hehehe....

So..I would like to take this opportunity to congratulated MU FC for becoming the EPL champion for this year...champion again dude!

As for that..the next couple of my post or more ,will be related to MU FC...

The football season is closed...yet my hunger for football is still not over...oh my god!

Palm oil as a biofuel source : A disaster?

We are now in an era where our fossil fuel is getting lesser and lesser.A solution...biofuel...where we can recreated it through usage of biomass source or from vegetable of plant source.
As our country Malaysia,also have a part in contributing in these field through our palm oil source as one of a biofuel source alternative.
Palm oil was hailed as one of the biofuel source which could be a solution in creating an environment friendly biofuel energy.But not the story is different, we heard many complaints and research results(mainly came from the western country's researchers) that by using palm oil as one of the biofuel source,we are actually threatening the forest and environment ecology.
They said that we might threaten orang utan habitats and ecology system.Whereas if in Indonesia,the Sumatera tiger existent also might be in jeopardy.
Well I am not a researcher,well not yet at least.Neither nor a animal habitat expert as well. But I think...I think...those animal do not actually live in a palm tree estate.How come they think by using palm oil as a biofuel source we actually threatening those animal existent?
They should actually come to Malaysia or Indonesia to see the orang utan and the sumatera tiger by themselves.
If they are suggesting that we are bulldozing the forest to plant more palm tree...well that point I don't know.The government surely will wisely plan this kind of thing to ensure those animal will not be in danger.
What I can say is all this kind of negative point only suggesting that those critics were more kind of a jealousy point of view.This is because other western country also are producing biofuel source from other kind of vegetables or plant.For example in US and Brazil,they are using soybeans as a biofuel source.Whereas in France and Italy ,they are using sunflower oil.
I think Malaysia and Indonesia scientist and researchers must do more and more research deeply into palm oil potential as a biofuel source.Lets try convincing the world that we have a solution for the energy crisis matter.We can be a nation of energy and power in the future by monopolising this palm oil business.
Lets take this opportunity to progress our economy growth.Let others bit their teeth's when we show the world that palm oil do not only have potential,it also has a future.
I am surely to look more into this matter when I complete my PhD as I believe with palm oil development,Malaysia could be a better country.

Biofuel : An Introduction

Biofuel is an energy source that comes from waste, vegetable or plant. It is one of an alternative solution for currently used petroleum. Biofuel shows its potential as a future solution for current energy resource crisis because it can be reproduced. Though the cost of producing biofuel is efficient enough or not is still in debate among scholars and academician but it is surely seen as on of the best alternative to us.
We see biofuel created from palm oil, corn or other plant. Somehow it actually resembles an image of a “Green Product” because it came from such sources. However research do show that combustion from biofuel actually emit higher NOx quantity when comparing with the combustion of petroleum. These phenomena cannot be taken lightly as when we are trying to find solution to our energy resource crisis, we are creating another issue for our environment to handle with. Do we need this kind of problem? Surely the answer is no. We cannot sacrifice mother earth in order to satisfy human greediness of energy sources. But as we know, petroleum is frighteningly decreasing and eventually will totally be none for us to dig in the near future. As for this, it looks most likely that alternatives are needed and biofuel could give us that. What we need to do is we need to eliminate the weakness of biofuel before we widely commercialized its usage world widely.
To find the solution for its weakness,a thorough researches are needed.But first a literature review need to be done so we can see it as a large picture.
Do not also forget that any solution found will be evaluated thoroughly.We need to see from the RETURN OF INVESTMENT point of view as well.
But as I said,thorough literature review are needed here before any research design is prepared.

Research oh research

I am planning to pursue my study next September at Newcastle University,UK.Well hello the geordies!People call newcsatle people the geordie...why...don't ask me...have no idea bout it.I heard that the geordies are very friendly.
So I will do MSc in Mechanical Engineering.The first 9 months will probably full with classes, assignments and exams.The next 3 months is where I need to complete a research and a dissertation.
As currently I am at University Science Malaysia attending Research Methodology Course, I already started to think about the research that I will be doing in this near future.I will probably focusing my research broadly at first(during MSc) and will probably make it more specific during my PhD.(upon completing my MSc successfully)
Gosh...the air condition of this CC is conducing me to sleep..hehe.OK back to the research thing, I heard that during PhD,people usually take about 1 and a half year to only making a research proposal.I remember during my undergraduate days(aaa....quite a fond memories),I took about a week or something to come out with the proposal...so....wow.....imagine how I feel when I heard that it took that much of time to complete a research proposal for PhD.
Lecturer here also reminded all the course attendees that doing PhD is not a fun thing or something that is enjoyable.I do believes so.How much do lo like to research for fun?If it is a science camp or 2 hours a week lab classes...maybe we could find it fun(although I think most of people hates lab class...me...its a mix feeling)The lecturer also said many sacrifice are needed,and your love ones need to understand your situation.....well that point I don't worry too much as I believe my loves one do understand my choice.Luv you honey!!
But as I already set my mind...choosing lecturer as my destined profession....I will face them all...one by one...day by day....with Allah willing and blessing and supports from my love ones,I do believe I can do it.
So BRING IN ON!!!....
